I have a feeling you are right, the man is mentally ill. He should be removed from the bench. The scary thing is, how did he get so far?

Pearson should be made to pay the lawyer bills of the Dry Cleaners and also be made to work for nothing in the folks dry cleaning business for penance for a time.

"As a trial lawyer, I am against most forms of tort reform."

There is One we need to adopt and I think you will agree. That is this Looser Pays ALL Cost. That would stop almost all frivolous suits. It would surely stop this one.

“”Surprises me that Al and Jessie were not there to lend their support for the judge.”

Yes, I should have guessed that this clown is one of the bros.

I think this man needs some kind of intervention by family; he has some serious mental problems and needs help. All the lawyer jokes notwithstanding, I feel sorry for the guy.

He is also asking for compensation for:

"leasing a car every weekend for 10 years because there is no dry cleaner close to his house"

After reading the rest of the replies to this thread, I have a question: why is nobody complaining about the “judge” who is hearing this case?

Why doesn’t he or she just throw the case out instead of perpetuating this circus?

Pearson did testify that he has between 40 and 60 pairs of pants hanging in his closet, none of which, he emphasized, has cuffs.

no joke to Jin and Soo Chung, the owners of Custom Dry Cleaning. The legal bills they have incurred in fighting this lawsuit have wiped out their family’s savings. Three times they have offered Pearson a settlement, most recently for $12,000. Three times Pearson has refused.

Intervention? He needs incarceration. Look what he has done to the Chungs. He needs to be removed from the bench. He needs to be removed from society.

The old saying applies to Judge Pearson perfectly here: “What do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 50?”

Answer: “Your Honor.”

My guess - the case is not without merit - as evidenced by the offer of a settlement. The amount he is asking for is insane and the guy suing is insane but there is an actual case for a pair of pants.

"...the case is not without merit - as evidenced by the offer of a settlement."

One does not necessarily follow the other here. There are a whole bunch of reasons why. If "merit" is defined by raking in cash, then that is a different issue.

I think they need to “hem” Jin and Soo Chung in to a corner and “cuff” them.

He needs to be forced to restore this poor couple that he victimized. He’s nuts.

Stupid is as stupid does. That being said, race has absolutely nothing to do with this.

I hope that when this case is finally tossed out, the Koreans turn around and sue him for the actual pain and suffering he has inflicted on them.
